Reach for the sky!

Everyone recognizes a saguaro. It is the cactus that has arms reaching skyward (usually) and it populates the Sonoran desert. My friend Altadena Hiker suggests that saguaros are always giving her the finger.

She just might be right!

Shado and I hiked this morning. Our mission was to find saguaros with droopy arms.

But we had no such luck.

So we contented ourselves with photos of birds and a few blooms and many cacti doing

I am not sure I would like the desert with all those picky cactus things growing everywhere. I am not even that crazy about evergreens but I love, love, love big leafy trees and we have lots of them where I live.
